How far out are you? Week 3, I had nerve pain where it felt like it was ripping and on fire. Especially when I sneezed or coughed. Unfortunately, that's pretty normal. Wearing an abdominal brace for a few days and massaging around the area really, really, really helped me.

Yes had major ripping burning pain from week 2-4. Woke up on my 4th week and pain gone, but becareful turning in bed has caused me to tear it again.... Standing at first hurts but the longer your up the pain goes away. Hope it heals fast.

I'm in the same boat I was 362 and I weighed myself today I'm 340 I'm less than a week out is this possible

I had the same sort of pain for several weeks( im 8 weeks out now.) Mine was complicated by the development of a seroma. My surgeon had to reopen the incision for it to drain. That said, that incision is the one through which they remove the excised stomach. It's going to hurt more than any other.

And yes, that loss is entirely possible in a week. At two weeks out, I'd lost 32lbs, including 8 from pre-op.

Awesome what is seroma

I have been having a lot of pain with the incision. I've been to the er twice now cuz I can get any relief. I can't stand up to walk, cant do my exercises cuz I can't stand straight. Only thing that helps is dilaudid and I can't take that home obviously. Ugh I wish it would disappear.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better soon for u have ur docs told u wat it can be

Docs are just saying its pain from the trauma of everything coing out and being pulled. I dont understand how proper can have no pain after this surgery. I get irrotatedcuz my mom will say "u just had a major surgery, u will have some discomfort." If it was discomfort I could handed it. I have fibroyalgia so I know all about discomfort.
